EPISODE 112 - Leadville Recap and is the Drop Bar Mountain Bike Finally Gaining Traction?

What up party people. Well we almost had to record this Leadville recap episode without the one Bonk Bro who was actually at the race because homeboy Dylan Johnson was still asleep at the time of our schedule studio session… luckily he answered his phone and I wish y’all could’ve heard how frantic he was when he discovered he was almost going to miss the Leadville show. Anyway, that’s basically what we talk about the entire show.

If you have any questions or feedback for the show you can drop us a note at [email protected] or slide your way into those Bonk Bros instagram DMs (@bonkbros @dylanjawnson @adamsaban6 @tylerclouti @raddaddizzle @scottmcgilljr). Alright let’s get this episode started.

Episode 122 - Hot Takes, Big Sugar, and the Life Time Grand Prix Finale
What up party people. Alright I know what you’re thinking, this entire episode is going to be about Dizzle bragging about him smashing Dylan at Big Sugar this past weekend but I promise we don’t let it be the Dizzle Show the whole time. That said, I think we would all agree it was probably for the best that Dizzle took down his arch frenemy so he could get back to his usual self, for better or worse. Let’s see, what else… Life Time Grand Prix final standings and more updates for next year, the year of the mountain bike tire saga continues, and the boys wrap up with some listener questions after I had to bounce. So yeah.

The rest of us riff on some of the latest updates Life Time has made to the 2025 Grand Prix series, touch a little bit on some recent racing like this weekend’s Little Sugar sprint finish and Scott’s take on the Gravel World Championships, AND Eli Iserbyt getting DQ’d after have some cross rage in the middle of the race this past weekend, and a whole lot more to boot.

YouTube Beef, Gravel World Champs, and Tire Talk w/ Tyler Pearce (aka VC Adventures / The Vegan Cyclist)
10 okt· Bonk Bros
Episode 120 - YouTube Beef, Gravel World Champs, and Tire Talk w/ Tyler Pearce (aka VC Adventures / The Vegan Cyclist)
What up party people. I’m going to be completely honest here, I really had no idea who The Vegan Cyclist was until he started some good old fashioned beef with Dizzle in his Dustbowl 100 video and even after that I still didn’t know his real name was Tyler Pearce until the night before recording this episode.
But hey, I give the guy some serious props for agreeing to come on the show this week and checking his ego at the door. Tyler came into this conversation with not only an open mind but also open arms willing to accept Dizzle and his sometimes brash persona despite all the controversy that was sparked.
Dylan and I mostly sit back and let the two YouTube frenemies clear the air on what really happened during their interaction at the Dust Bowl 100 before we all dive into some conversation on a few topics like Gravel World Champs, tires, marginal gains, and future projects VC is working up.
Oh yeah, and if you came this week hoping I would share my latest tire test results comparing DJs beloved Race Kings to the Keegans sought after Aspen ST, I unfortunately was not able to complete the testing project prior to recording since we had to move our recording session forward a day but I’ll post some of my preliminary findings on the socials at some point this week and leave the conversation for another episode.
If you have any questions or feedback for the show you can drop us a note at [email protected] or hit up the Bonk Bros instagram page (@bonkbros @dylanjawnson @adamsaban6 @tylerclouti @raddaddizzle @scottmcgilljr).
Shout out to our presenting sponsor Silca for having our back on yet another whirlwind Bonk Bros episode. As Dylan mentions later in the show, one of Silca’s best kept secret products is actually one of their free resources offered to the public which is their tire pressure calculator. So next time you’re going to air up those mountain bike tires on your gravel bike, make sure to head over to their site to reference a starting point for dialing in those PSIs and should you also pick up something swanky while you’re at it, use the discount code “bonkbrosbonus5” when checking out.
